"X" is Xandir's
« Reply #12590 on: April 16, 2007, 02:10:42 pm »
The animated series Drawn Together  parodied Brokeback Mountain  extensively in the episode "Xandir and Tim, Sitting in a Tree" with the relationship between Xandir and Captain Hero's gay alter ego Tim Tommerson.  Xandir's line, "I wish I could quit you," is a variation on the film's most famous line, "I wish I knew how to quit you."

"B" is bridles

Jack bridles his horse, but Ennis bridles at Jack's "let's git" comment.

{def#1: to put on a bridle; #2:  to take offense}

Going up, the day was fine but the trail deep-drifted and slopping wet at the margins.  They left it to wind through a slashy cut, leading the horses through brittle branchwood, Jack, the same eagle feather in his old hat, lifting his head in the heated noon to take the air scented with resinous lodgepole, the dry needle duff and hot rock, bitter juniper crushed beneath the horses' hooves.

Jack's low-startle-point mare demonstrated her considerable bucking skills when she threw Jack onto his hapless harmonica.

"E" is equine
« Reply #12596 on: April 16, 2007, 04:00:23 pm »
The BBM score has a track entitled "Horse Love", that plays during Tent Scene 2.  Perhaps it refers to the equine witnesses.

(These horses are polite, and have their backs turned to the tent.)

"F" is flicking
« Reply #12597 on: April 16, 2007, 04:40:45 pm »
If we call the equines witnesses, then Jack and Ennis had little privacy with the animals standing there nonchalantly flicking their long tails.

More horse pics here.
ps. The pics with the suffix 500 are smaller versions.

"G" is given

Given the behavior of Ennis's horse, we can safely assume that it was afraid of bears.

"H" is horsing

While Jack and Ennis were horsing around, the mules did all the work.
